Learn to Sew with Sewing School
As both a Charlotte Mason style homeschooler and someone who enjoys making things, I have made it a point to introduce my children to many handicrafts. I see handicrafts as a way to teach skills, encourage creativity, and promote productive use of time. Sewing is one of my favorites to introduce to children because of the wonderful things you can make and the usefulness of this life skill. … [Read more...] about Learn to Sew with Sewing School
Review Math On DVD Calculus
Last winter I reviewed Math on DVD Pre-Calculus by Steven Gottlieb. Since then my son has been learning calculus, and it has not been easy. However, his frustrating experience has often been soothed by a session with Math on DVD Calculus 1.

And, while it … [Read more...] about Review Math On DVD Calculus
A Collection Of Math Lessons Review
When my twelve-year-old was seven, math became a chore for him and thus it became a chore for me. When the mere mention of math time caused panic and fear in both of us, I decided we needed to change our routine up.

10-20-30Go! Prayer, Reading, Chore System Review
I know, another chore system. I thought the same thing. Why would this be any different than the other chore systems that we have tried and abandoned over the years? Why even bother with a chore system at all? I was willing to give 10-20-30Go! a try because summer was quickly approaching in our home. We were about to begin our summer schedule, and one of the areas that ends up getting ignored … [Read more...] about 10-20-30Go! Prayer, Reading, Chore System Review
7 Sisters Innovative Homeschool Helps Review
High school allows time for our children to pursue their interests, testing them out to see if that interest is something they would like to pursue in the future either on their own or in a formal college course. I received several Seven Sisters courses as a prize and I took the opportunity to pick things that my high school age son was interested in learning about and we hadn’t covered in our … [Read more...] about 7 Sisters Innovative Homeschool Helps Review

Summer Reading
Well summer is just about here, although you would be hard pressed to say so here in England. We have largely cool weather speckled with beautifully warm days - just to show us what 'could-be' :o).
